Chapter 11 - Industrial carbon dioxide capture and utilization

Abstract

Increased CO2 concentration from a variety of sources are assumed to have a substantial greenhouse effect, contributing to continuous global warming and climate destabilization, as well as causing natural disasters, glacier melting, and frequent extreme weather events. Owing to its substantial part in increasing worldwide temperature, CO2 (Carbon dioxide) capture and utilization (CCU) has garnered considerable heed. To compete with CCU techniques, it is required to provide an adequate and timely overview of these techniques with a brief understanding. Despite the rapid expansion of the advanced CO2 collection and utilization materials and their deployment, it is critical to conduct a timely review. In this chapter, we critically analyzed and reviewed the performance and properties of both solid and liquid CO2 adsorbents, as well as potential approaches for improving their CO2 utilization and collection ability. Their industrial uses in CO2 capture and utilization before and after combustion were thoroughly examined and analyzed. This evaluation will be extremely useful for readers in gaining a broad grasp of CCUs current advancements and future tendencies. This effort will undoubtedly assist CCU researchers and will aid in the advancement with major accomplishments in both fundamental industrial and research applications, providing new perspectives for future industrial and scientific development in the sector.
